“Steven Spielberg seems to have wanted to be a director from 13. He put his dog in a certain position and made him eat at four o'clock. He liked to direct it. But, to me, directing is tedious.

“I've always enjoyed stories that take place in the future but my one disappointment was that the future books described never came. We're not on other planets, there are no flying cars, and the only robots we have in our homes just sweep the floor. So I wanted to write about a future that I thought could really happen.

And I even think the future in my book is strangely hopeful, although I'm sure there will be people who strongly disagree.” PeopleThinkingWritingStillsBookStoriesHomeHappensWantedAsksCarPlanetsNewsDisappointmentFlyingEnjoyedTitlesAsk MeHopefulDisagreeGood NewsRobotsFlying Cars Author:Albert Brooks
